About EESF
The Essex Elementary School Foundation is a non-profit organization, established in 1996, to supplement public education in our community by supporting the school’s strategic vision to engage all students in a rigorous and collaborative education program. We are committed to enriching the lives of our community’s students.
Our Mission
Essex Elementary School Foundation’s primary goal is to enhance student achievement through investments in innovative curriculum and rigorous academic programming that allow students to explore dynamic pathways of interest. Each year, we allocate at least 5% of the EESF endowment for new programming through grants to the school.
Grants
EESF offers many exciting grant opportunities for supplemental enrichment programs and projects. Some grants include World Cultures Programs, iPad Labs, Transportation to High Hopes, Engineering with LEGOS, Readers Aloud & 3D Printer/Makerspace.
Why Donate?
Your contribution will support programs that would otherwise not be available through traditional funding by the school system and budget. These programs will enhance classrooms with state of the art teaching tools and technologies, support teachers in their focus on individualized learning through supplemental staff training and provide students with additional curricular resources to build their skills and knowledge. Our non-profit, volunteer organization relies on the generosity of our local residents, parents, community members, and businesses.
